As a family of 12, we rented Malcolm's beautiful house for my mum's 80th birthday; it was absolutely perfect. This house has everything you could need: lots of space for everyone, it is set in beautiful grounds, in a great position off the road, and an easy 25-minute walk into Grantown on Spey. We loved staying in this house and are looking forward to returning, hopefully very soon.

This is a lovely house with plenty of space for all thirteen of our family members, and perfect for playing murder mystery! The kitchen is plenty big enough too, and two fridge freezers were very useful. The bedrooms were all very clean and comfortable as were the bathrooms. Malcolm the host was very helpful and responded to queries very quickly.I would certainly recommend.

3rd Easter in a row at Malcolm's property, and it was fantastic again. Cannot fault it at all. 11 of us stayed for 5 nights and found it immaculately clean and spacious.We know the area well and find Grantown-on-Spey a great base to access everything on offer nearby.Close to the speyside way which was used by the dog walkers of the group and the keen runner who found it a gentle trail to Nethy Bridge and back.We're hoping to make it 4 years in a row next year :)
